It’s at the Manhattan fast-food, Dakar, Senegal, cinema le Paris
Tomorrow I would be gone
The Bamako Mopti station
There is no problem…all is well
Today I am getting married, I have confidence
Amoul solo, Gao, Algeria, Tunisia, Italy
There is no problem, I love!
At Manhattan fast-food, Dakar, Senegal, cinema le Paris
Elevator for the ghetto
It is midnight in Tokyo
It is five o’clock in Mali
What time is it in paradise?
It is midnight in Tokyo
It is five o’clock in Mali
What time is it in paradise?
We who leave our countries
May the children of the country not forget us
We who are in this thing
This thing that none of us would know how to name it
We who are in faraway countries
May the children of the country not forget us
It's at the Manhattan fast-food, Dakar, Senegal
The grandmother is at the Dantec hospital
Grandfather all goes well, me here, you there,
The visa at the Consulate number 39, I wait I wait
To the registry office, already year 2000, already 2000 years
At the Manhattan fast-food, Dakar, Senegal, cinema le Paris
It is midnight in Tokyo
It is five o’clock in Mali
What time is it in paradise?
It is midnight in Tokyo
It is five o’clock in Mali
What time is it in paradise?
Dakar, Bamako, Rio de Janeiro
Where is the problem? Where is the border?
Between the walls, thread one’s way
In the elevator for the ghetto
At Manhattan fast-food, Dakar, Senegal, cinema le Paris
We who leave our countries
May the children of the country not forget us
We who are in this thing
This thing that none of us would know how to name it
We who are in faraway countries
May the children of the country not forget us
